Custom Ring Bearer’s Pillow

Michigan Style!!

If you know me, you know I am not getting remarried and I am not a Michigan fan so you know this is NOT for me.

This is a custom order for Lillian. She contacted me through my blog and requested a custom made pillow. I thought I would walk you through the process so if you are ever interested in a custom design (clothes, pillows, curtains, etc) you would know the process.

How did I end up making a Michigan Ring Pillow? A viewer from Canada contacted me asking me about a football pillow I made a long time ago. She asked me if I could design her a Michigan style ring pillow.

The design: we worked together through email and I sent her a couple drawings until we had the design exactly how she wanted it. Once the design and price was settled, I started working.

Here is one of the drawings.

The work in progress: I would email my customer with update pictures on my progress. I like doing because 1)it comforts them to know I am working on their project especially since many of my customers do not know me 2)It is always easier to change something during construction then afterwards!!

The finished design:

To hold the rings down the aisle one of the hash marks is Velcro and will hold the rings.

I was completely honored to help design a special piece of Lillian’s wedding. This will also be a special keepsake for them too for many years to come.

If you ever have something you want custom made, please contact me maridithdesigns@gmail.com. I love to help make your vision a reality…Strictly Homemade!!
